this story. the woman that you see in this video if you look at it now it's 46-year-old anila. she's being forcibly removed off the plane much this is southwest airlines flight out of bwi airport trying to get to la to see her father who is in surgery. you can hear in this video her yelling i'm a professor, don't touch me and you can also hear the officer shouting back at her to walk out the plane. even frustrated passengers are yelling for her to get off and the crew apparently did spend quite some time trying to get his woman to leave the plane and the flight was delayed by at least half an hour. now, what led up to this heated moment is basically the woman she asked the night crew that two dogs be removed from the plane because she has a life-threatening allergy to d dogs. southwest says she couldn't provide any medical documentation. she also did not have an epipen and so as part of their policy she was asked to leave the plane because they just couldn't

they asked her several times. she refused. and one of the dogs i think it's important to mention was a service dog and the crew had informed her that they cannot remove the dog. so unlike on the airline passengers we've seen gone viral after being roughly removed this woman really is not receiving the support or sympathy online and even from the people that we have spoken with out here as many questioning her behavior including the man who shot this video. take listen. >> the police were -- were being overly aggressive but really they -- sean giving them much a choice. >> don't touch me. >> just get off the plane. i mean the reality is there's going to be pets on every main. there's pet hair on every person. i mean, she's causing a disturbance. a service animal depending on the disability they're loud everywhere now. they're allowed in restaurant, grocery stores, everything like that. >> reporter:

disagrees is paul hudson with flyers rights.org and he toll us that he thinks the situation could have been handled certainly differently. where it didn't get to this point of, you know, a physical contact, and that, you know, perhaps the plane should have been deboarded. evacuated and just isolate the situation and then reboard the flight. but again this flight was delayed by at least 30 minutes. a lot of frustrated passengers so they're definitely two sides to this. but i will tell you it was very hard to find people who sympathized with the passenger in this situation. we can tell you the passenger is facing several charges including resisting arrest, diss orally conduct and so she will soon be facing a judge. that's the very latest from reagan national. annie yu fox5 local news. >> annie, thanks. 9:19. still to come this morning from instagram to hollywood a little bit later. we're sitting down witness stars and director of new movie call the florida project. and the role that drake may have played in helping to promote it. >> first
